Hello, Mana! How are you? What are the prescribing instructions on the label? Do they state that you are supposed to take one every 6 hours, or do they instruct you to take one every 6 hours, as needed? The answer will depend upon the precise details.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

If you are to take one every 6 hours regularly, then 30 tablets would only be a supply for 7 and a half days. However, if the directions instruct you to take them only as needed, then your doctor may expect them to last for a longer period of time.
